About this listen

The mission to destroy the enemy Gateway was literally a smashing success.

Except the Pirates were too late, and now not one but two of the enemy are loose in the galaxy. And they are equipped with starships more powerful than Valkyrie. A direct fight would be hopeless, so the Pirates must rely on wacky ideas from the mushy brain of a monkey—and some serious sketchiness.

The Expeditionary Force saga continues in book 19 from epic sci-fi writer Craig Alanson and narrated by none other than R.C. Bray.

Most relevant
First their is at least one more book, secondly you can clearly tell that Craig has developed as a writer cause he is no longer talking about what has happened in previous books only talking about what is actually relevant to this book and the actions of this book. The humor is still spot on with an understanding that Joe job isn't simple anymore and that his age and maturity is properly showing itself and with Joe understanding that his role can't solve all the problems.

I'm truly looking forward to more books from Craig Alanson if he can keep up this quality of work.

Another great book

I really enjoyed the latest Expeditionary Force audiobook. It delivers exactly what fans want: fast-paced action, sharp humour, and plenty of classic Skippy banter. The story keeps things moving without feeling rushed, and the character interactions are as entertaining as ever.
The narration is excellent and really brings the dialogue and humour to life, making it an easy, addictive listen. If you’re already a fan of the series, this one absolutely doesn’t disappoint — and if you’re listening on audiobook, it’s a great experience from start to finish
